Prior investigations of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) biomarkers of cartilage loss in knee osteoarthritis (OA) suggest that trials of interventions which affect this biomarker with adequate statistical power would require large clinical studies of 1–2 years duration. We hypothesized that smaller, sho...
When you carry extra pounds you also speed up the loss of cartilage in your knees. That's the stuff that creates a cushion between your bones. If you don't have enough, your bones start to rub against each other. And that leads to irritation, pain, and swelling. When you drop a few...
Once you accept and understand the manner in which osteoarthritis can impair your quality of life, you can take steps to prepare for the worst-case scenario. Like other degenerative conditions, osteoarthritis will worsen if not managed. Many seniors continue to live healthy and active lives despite...
In research funded by Arthritis Research UK, Professor Sue Kimber and her team in the Faculty of Life Sciences at The University of Manchester has developed a protocol under strict laboratory conditions to grow and transform embryonic stem cells into cartilage cells (also known as chondrocytes). ...
Clinical evidence demonstrates that cartilage lesions, diagnosed by MRI, were not confirmed in arthroscopy. The purpose of this prospective study was to analyse the practicability of replacing arthroscopy by MRI in diagnosis of cartilage lesions.195 patients with acute or chronic knee pain were ...
Even if you hit puberty late, you're unlikely to grow significantly after the ages of 18 to 20 . Most boys reach their peak height around the age of 16. Do boys grow after 17? Boys seem to grow at incredible rates, which may make any parent wonder: When do boys stop growing? Accor...
Depending on the extent of the damage to the knee, in some cases, simple keyhole surgery to tidy up any torn cartilage may also be recommended."For some patients, however, as they get older and symptoms worsen, then more extensive surgery, including joint replacement, is often the best ...
Given that the number of cases of OA and dementia are each increasing as the population of older adults continues to grow [10, 11], there is an urgent need for effective treatment strategies for OA symptoms since this may also help reduce dementia prevalence. Two frontline strategies for ...
A: Nearly all previous studies on stem cell therapies in joints have focused on trying to repair small "focal" damage to the cartilage. Only a few recent studies have begun to examine the possibility for treating the whole joint, either to grow enough cartilage to resurface the entire joint ...
